JOHNSON CITY, N.Y. -- The daughter of famed minister Billy Graham is in the Southern Tier this weekend as part of a two day conference hosted by Davis College.
Ruth Graham kicked off her 'Get Growing' conference Friday night in front of a crowd of several hundred. The conference will focus on Graham sharing what she's learned from her life experiences from a Christian perspective.
Graham's team tours throughout the country, and she says they selected Broome County because of the broad reach of its faith based community.
"This was a community where the churches would work together, where the college would serve as a gathering place for many different denominations, and many different people, and that's what we're trying to do," Graham said. "We're trying to reach as many people as we can with the message that we have."
The conference will continue through Saturday and is free and open to the public.
